Do you swear by a morning routine?
Each day start differently?
What helps you create momentum in the morning and stay consistent, and productive?

My mornings start slow and include a walk with my dogs.

@kris_keppeler Nice! What do you feel walking does for you? How does it help set you up for a great day?
@jefffajans Gives me freedom to think and it's relaxing to enjoy the scenery and be entertained by my dogs.
@kris_keppeler That's nice. Starting day with openness and freedom (and positive emotions) is a great way to do it!
Meditate, a bit of stretching and start working
Mine alway start with gratitude, prayer and meditation.
💪 workout
🌟 setting intentions and put the to-do list IN the calendar
☕ coffee with my friend Juan at 8h30
🚀 And let's go!
Works every time!
@lisa_steingold1 Love it!
Translating tasks into actual time blocks on the calendar is SO helpful and effective.
My morning routine is very very elaborate lol I swear by it, and I think its helped me a lot especially on the mental health front! Reading + meditating are def my favourite aspects of it❤️
@annie_chopra You gotta share more! We'd love to see how elaborate it is (if you're open to it)
:)
I'm intrigued!
@jefffajans definitely! So I start my day making some bulletproof coffee (coconut oil + cinnamon in black coffee) and while thats prepping I make a turmeric drink and this is my fav its called the rich b**** juice and while i drink it and stir it I usually do my affirmations. Once my coffee is ready I do my meditation depending on how early i wake up it can be between 5 to 20 minutes long! And then i read a couple of books while i drink my coffee. These are in the following categories “autobiography, business learning, mindset, and productivity” all of it is usually just an hour long and when i get into working i am so energised and full of awesome new ideas 🙌🏼
@annie_chopra Love this! Thanks for sharing. I do bulletproof coffee and a greens (with tumeric as part of the mix) too.
This sounds very energizing indeed!
My morning start with my dog buddy
-coffee
-stock
-morning meeting
@sylvia_sheng gotta start with coffee. That's the lead domino for sure :)
What do you cover in your morning meeting? Same each day or different structure?
@jefffajans We review our project and tell the team what we done yesterday to make sure everybody knows where exactly we are in the roadmap.
@sylvia_sheng Solid. thanks for sharing more. Do you find that everyone agrees on what the next most important steps are each morning?

Morning routines are a game-changer! I've adopted the '5am club' lifestyle and it's incredible how much you can achieve before the world wakes up. My routine includes journaling, reading, and a brisk walk. It's all about finding what resonates with you!
@barryzheng568 Love it! Definitely agree about finding something you actually find energizing and enjoy. Don't force it.

@shikha_singh15 Yum!
How does this help you transition into your priorities for the day?
-Pray
-Recite Quran
- Workout
- Coffee
- Start working at 7
What about you Jeff? Do you have one?
@mahir_mahdi Love the self-care and spirituality focus. Strong motivational, inspirational setup.
For me, it looks like this:
- Coffee & Greens Drink
- Spend time with my 4.5 year old son, Hendrix (make him breakfast, play with him, talk w him, help him get ready for pre-k, etc)
- feed dogs
- review my calendar and priorities for the day - and first steps with priority work sessions (which I typically set night before)
- then either myself or wife will take son to school
- When get back jump into Priority 1 work for the day
Simple morning routine - I find other routines and habits throughout the day help me stay focused and effective
